    You have it setup optimally already. Great air flow. Generally, you want to have it set up so that air flows from the front of the case to the back. In other words, 1-2 fans placed in the front of your case should draw in air (intake) while 1-2 fans in the back of your case should dissipate air (exhaust). This dissipation should apply to any top case fans as well. Any side case fans should draw in air to keep your gpu cool.
